Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 493/49,520/100
Formula to find GCF of Fractions is
GCF = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators
As per the formula GCF of Fractions let’s split into two parts and find the GCF of Numerators and LCM of Denominators
In the given fractions GCF of Numerators means GCF of 493,520
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 493,520 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 49,100 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 49,100 is 4900 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 493,520
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 493
List of positive integer factors of 493 that divides 493 without a remainder.
1,17,29,493
Factors of 520
List of positive integer factors of 520 that divides 520 without a remainder.
1,2,4,5,8,10,13,20,26,40,52,65,104,130,260,520
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 493,520 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 493,520 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 49,100
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4900
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/4900
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 493/49,520/100 is 1/4900
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 49,100 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(49,100) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(49,100) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(49,100) = ( 49 × 100 ) / 1
LCM(49,100) = 4900 / 1
LCM(49,100) = 4900
